Recognition of an
Activity |
|
Registrants and organisers
are encouraged to submit activities for
accreditation and point allocation. The activity
will be evaluated by the Board and, if approved,
placed in a category and allocated points.
The allocation of points is based
on the participation level, recognised educational
value and time involved in the CPD activity.
Sufficient information of the activity must be
provided for assessment and allocation of the
appropriate number of points.
|
|
Activities should be submitted
for accreditation prior to or within three
months of the activity date. Complete the CPD
Activity Accreditation online form.
Activities are
not automatically accredited and each activity
will be considered and assessed by the Board. The
Board may disallow the points claimed for
activities without prior accreditation.
Established professionally
relevant conferences will be accredited on
submission of the program outline by the organiser. Recognised
conferences include:
|
|
|
- Orthoptics Australia
Annual Scientific Conference
- AOVSM
(Australasian Ophthalmic & Visual Sciences
Meeting)
- ARVO
(Association for Research in Vision &
Ophthalmology)
- International
Low Vision Conference
|
|
Progressively submitting activities during the
biennium for recognition and point allocation will
expand the reference list of accredited activities
available to registrants.
Self education such as journal
reading does not require pre approval. A
guide to professionally relevant journals of
appropriate educational level is at CPD Resources.
Registrants must be aware that it is possible
for the AOB to disallow points claimed if a
Journal is not considered to be educationally
relevant.

|
Accredited Activities
|
|
The CPD program will expand as
activities are made known to the Board. A list of
accredited CPD Activities is available
and is progressively updated as submitted
activities are accepted and allocated
accreditation points.
On request, the points allocation
of a conference may be upgraded after
consideration by the Board if the program supports
such a request.
